<p>I also read that book and it sold me. You are right NotMamaRose; it is a must-read. I have never seen a university with that kind of vision, along with a comprehensive plan that makes that vision a reality. That success has been borne out by the amazing reviews that Elon gets from US News, Princeton Review, Kiplingers etc. Here’s a link to many of them for anyone who is interested: [Elon</a> University Rankings and Recognitions](<a href=“Elon University - America’s Top-Ranked Teaching University”>Elon University / About Elon / Rankings & Recognition) It’s so impressive what they have done over the last 40 years or so.</p>
<p>There is a great “energy” that comes from people working together on a shared vision, and especially at this point in the growth curve, when it’s rising so fast and the fruits of the work are so tangible. I felt it when I was on campus, and understood why when I read “Transforming a College”. I’m so excited that we get to be a part of it.</p>
